It’s gonna be a good good life, That’s what my therapist says // 13 April 2020

Torn between grateful that I have school to distract me and irritated that I have to somehow concentrate on my homework. 

One day at a time I guess.

Hey guys! As you probably know, I just started my second semester of college, and I learned a very valuable lesson my first semester -- NOT to take back-to-back classes. Here are some reasons why taking back-to-back classes isn’t the best option in college.

🔮 Walking between classes takes more time than you think. Sure, you can run from one lecture to the next in 15 minutes -- but what if you get hungry or need to use the restroom? You don’t have any time to take care of your needs. Plus, sometimes classes will let out later than the posted time, so you may be more pressed for time than you think.

🔮 In college, classes tend to be either lecture- or discussion-based -- both of which you need to be present for. In high school, a lot more time was dedicated to solo or group work, meaning that you could spare a few minutes and dart out to use the restroom, for example. However, if you do the same in college, you’ll likely miss something super important -- plus, people tend to judge you for that sort of thing (yikes).

🔮 Having more time between classes allows you to be more prepared and relaxed for your class. This goes hand-in-hand with my first point. If you’re running in to lecture at the last minute, you don’t have time to set up your supplies, drink some water, or take a breather. Allowing for more time between classes enables you to get to class a few minutes earlier, and gives you time to mentally prepare yourself for class.

🔮 Taking classes back-to-back actually inhibits your learning. Researchers have found that your brain is continuing to commit information you’ve learned in lecture to your long-term memory up to an hour after class has ended. If you take back-to-back classes, the material you covered in the last class will be “overwritten,” making it harder to recall later on. On the contrary, if you do something that requires less brainpower and does not involve new information, such as grabbing coffee with a friend, your brain has the time to store the information you learned in your long-term memory, and you will remember it more easily later on.

As always, let me know if you have any feedback, or any requests for topics for me to write on! Don’t forget to check out the companion post on my blog for the full-form, more descriptive article. (:

10 tips for in-class notes

I am really happy with my process, so here is how I take in-class notes (hopefully this is helpful!):

don’t be too extravagant. if you want to write everything down, you won’t have that kind of time.

I usually use a pencil and two highlighters. the pencil is obvious, the first highlighter is for headings, the second is for vocal words and REALLY important stuff. 

seriously... don’t overdo it with the highlighters. you don’t have time, and you can always rewrite your notes! rewriting can be a really good way to study them too. the important part is getting the important information

I usually use the outlining technique, which is basically bullet points.

I organize them with headings (highlighted), main points (dashes), and subpoints (arrows). 

if I have a list, it is usually formatted in subpoints. 

don’t write in full sentences

you don’t need to write down everything the teacher says

you don’t need to write down everything on the power point

it’s okay to be boring, simple, or messy!

Hey guys! The new semester is in full swing, and I’m sure that sleep is already getting pushed to the back burner. Here are some ways you can get better sleep as a student (yes, it is possible).

🌸 Figure out whether you are a morning bird, a night owl, or somewhere in between -- and plan your schedule and sleep around it

As a night owl, I don’t get tired until around 11 pm -- but in high school, I had to wake up at 6 am. I started napping in the early afternoon for an hour or so to make up for sleep lost at night and felt worlds better. Now that I’m in college, I take later classes so that I’m more awake. Figure out how to schedule your sleep so that you get a solid 7-9 hours a day, whether all at once or in two sleep sessions.

🌸 Determine when your energy is highest and lowest, and try to build your schedule accordingly.

College Info Geek did a great article on how to track your energy levels throughout the day. For example, if you find your most productive time of day is in the morning, try to schedule your most difficult tasks or classes for then, and do your less intensive work later in the day.

🌸 Follow your body’s natural 90-minute cycle when planning sleep.

Apps like Sleep Cycle and sites like Sleepyti.me are great for planning when to wake up based on your body’s natural sleep cycle of 90 minutes. Take this into account when napping too -- a 30- or 90-minute nap will refresh you, whereas a 60-minute nap will leave you feeling groggy.

🌸 No phones in bed.

Having your phone in bed both weakens your neural connections between being in bed and sleeping, as well as strengthens the connections between being in bed and being awake. If you simply must be on your phone until you fall asleep, try extensions like f.lux for your computer or night shift on your iPhone to change your screen tint to orange, which is less effective at suppressing melatonin and therefore better for your brain to get ready for sleep.

🌸 Develop a night time routine.

Create a routine that relaxes your body and sends the message that it’s time to sleep. For example, take a warm shower, put lotion on, and read in bed before turning the lights out. Try to cut out electronics within an hour or two before bed as much as possible.

🌸 Cut out caffeine, alcohol, and sugar before bed.

All three can wreck your sleep cycles and make it harder for you to fall asleep or can alter your sleep patterns, making it harder for you to wake up. In fact, studies show that consuming caffeine even 6 hours before bedtime can decrease your total sleep time by about an hour -- so avoid that 3 pm latte and try decaf instead.

🌸 Go to bed and wake up at consistent times each day (even weekends).

Sleeping and waking at consistent times sets your body’s biological clock straight, and eventually allows you to wake up naturally in the morning around the time you set your alarm. If you want to get more sleep on a weekend, for example, go to bed earlier and wake up at the same time, this will be less detrimental to your sleep than sleeping in the next day.

I hope this post was helpful! Let me know if you guys have any requests for me to write about, or any feedback (: Don’t forget to check out my blog for the full-form, more descriptive article. Sleep well ✨
